"they appear to be just as dogmatic and just as monstrous as the fascists."
I can't understand this claim. Fascists are dogmatic because they are unwilling to even listen and attempt to oppress opposing viewpoints. They are monstrous because they use violence and threats to eliminate whoever they consider as undesirable or as an opponent. Which of the two did Chomsky do?
"frankies"
What does that mean?
- jaunty_chapeau 4y agoDogmatic for adherence to ideology above all else. One does not have to be violent or oppressive to be dogmatic. Monstrous for his dogmatic adherence to ideology, which would leave the Ukrainian people to fend for themselves in the face of the Russian invasion. "Frankies" means fascists, humorously. Followers of Francisco Franco if it helps you remember.
- ttybird2 4y agoI guess we just don't have the same definitions of "Dogmatic" and "Monstrous". I would suggest "Mussolinists" instead, as Franco is more associated with Falangism. I honestly thought that you were referring to the Franks.
